Yesterday's Quinnipiac poll showing 55% of Americans are against affirmative action is one thing. Conservatives are arguing that Obama's election is the final signal that the Civil Rights Act is no longer needed, and that the President should be the one to dismantle it or face a major backlash from voters.
I agree that one day, that will have to be done.
That day is not here yet.
Sadly, we're nowhere close. And if Republicans continue to insist that efforts to correct existing racism (and sexism for that matter) and themselves racist and sexist, they will continue to lose.
